At my honest words, Mrs. Fenton’s eyes widened in surprise. Had I said something wrong? If Yurik had been hiding his taste from his mother, it was indeed a wrong thing to say. A blunder.

“Ah, no. Actually, it’s to my taste! I don’t know why Yurik’s name came up.”

Unaware of my anxiety, Mrs. Fenton was momentarily at a loss for words. Instead, she stared intently at the ornament ring I was looking at.

“Master.”

“Yes, madam.”

Mrs. Fenton suddenly called the Master.

“Can you pack that rabbit ornament ring right now?”

“Ah, yes. I can give you that item right now. One piece?”

“Yes. I want to give it as a gift to the youngest daughter of the Marsen family.”

Mrs. Fenton emphasized the words ‘youngest daughter’ to the Master. The Master’s face paled, which was a bonus.

Though I was pleased, I was more taken aback by the lady’s words that she wanted to give me a gift.

“Madam, I’m fine! Really!”

I had no ulterior motive in looking at that item. I didn’t want it either. I was simply looking at it because I thought Yurik would like it.

Unaware of my feelings, the lady wanted to give me the ornament ring and took out a check through a maid who was next to her. I didn’t want to receive such an expensive item from someone I had met for the first time today.

Unaware of my feelings, the ornament ring that had already come out of the glass case went into a box.

“I’m really fine. Above all, I can’t just accept something so expensive!”
울먹이듯 말하자 펜턴 부인은 나에게 다가오더니 허리를 약간 굽혔다.

“부탁 하나만 해도 될까? 리제.”

“……네?”

갑자기 웬 부탁? 선물을 담보로 나에게 무시무시한 부탁을 하려는 건 아니겠지? 걱정하는 순간, 포장된 물건이 나에게 건네졌다. 정말로 이게 내 손에 들어올 줄이야.

이전 생에선 이런 거 함부로 받았다가 좋지 않은 일이 대다수였다. 세상에 공짜는 없다, 라는 말도 있지 않은가. 설령 공짜가 있어도 저런 비싼 물건을 공짜로 받는 건 의심스러웠다.

“곧 유릭의 열두 번째 생일이야.”

“……?”

“그 이유로 서부에 계시던 할아버지께서 저택에 오셨지. 하지만 그분은 워낙 깐깐한 분이라 유릭을 억누르고 계셔. 유릭의 모든 것을 참견하시지.”

그건 유릭에게 들어서 알고 있었다.

“근데 그게 왜…….”

“그 이유로 이번 생일 선물은 유릭이 갖고 싶은 걸 줄 수 없어. 줬다가 할아버지께서 다 처리하실 테니 말이야. 그러니 너라도 유릭이 원하는 선물을 줬으면 해서.”

그녀의 의도를 알아챈 나는 뒤통수를 맞은 것처럼 얼얼했다. 방금 펜턴 부인을 의심한 내가 나쁜 아이라도 된 거 같았다.

“리제?”

하지만 그것보다 내 마음에 강렬하게 다가온 건 유릭을 생각해주는 펜턴 부인의 마음이었다.

큰 무역회사를 운영하고 있는 펜턴 가문, 그곳에서 유릭은 장남이었다. 후계자가 될 유릭에게 펜턴 부인과 공작이 엄할 것이라고 생각했다.

“……유릭이 좋아할까요?”

내 손에 쥐어진 포장된 상자를 물끄러미 보았다.

“그럼. 나도 유릭의 취향을 잘 안단다. 그건 틀림없이 유릭이 좋아하는 열쇠고리야.”

“……그건 맞는 거 같아요.”

“근데 그것뿐만이 아니야. 리제, 네가 줘서 더 좋을 거야.”

“정말요?”

“부탁, 들어줄 수 있겠니?”

조심스레 고개를 끄덕였다. 유릭을 만날 수만 있다면 그리 어려운 부탁도 아니었다.

내 대답에 펜턴 부인은 고맙다며 나의 뺨에 키스했다. 잠깐 닿은 그녀의 입술 감촉이 생생하게 느껴졌다. 나도 모르게 그 감촉이 남아 있는 뺨에 손을 대었다.

그때, 문 열리는 소리가 요란하게 들렸다. 슬슬 비티가 올 때라서 그녀인가 싶었다. 예상대로 비티가 맞았지만 비티 뒤에는 의외의 인물이 서 있었다.

“어머니?”

가슴이 덜컥 내려앉았다. 서둘러 포장된 상자를 치마 안쪽에 숨긴 나는 다시 두 눈을 의심했다.

그곳엔 이세벨이 있었다.

Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman

When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…

One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.

Synopsis

During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.

Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.

Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”

Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.

Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”

With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.

Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?

He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
